And he revealed that he immediately said sorry to Reid in a chat with People on Friday.
“Oh. Oh, I am the worst there is,” he remarked. “So the very next day I called Andy and said, ‘Wow, I am so sorry. I had no idea I’d create such a storm.’
“He was laughing. But that’s how it is. Fans are very protective of their football team.
“I’m an outsider, so therefore I don’t have a right to say that, and I get it. I won’t make that mistake this time.”
Bradshaw won four Super Bowls as Pittsburgh Steelers’ quarterback and has become a household name from working as a broadcaster over three decades.

“Terry Bradshaw is insufferable. Picked all 3 teams we played in the post to beat us, and then asked the owner ‘How unexpected was this’ – go back to Pittsburgh. You only won rings because of your defense,” another added.
A third posted: “So how unexpected is it that your second-seeded, 14-3 team made the Super Bowl?”
The Eagles went into all three postseason games so far as the favorite but are slight underdogs this time.
Reid’s Chiefs are ahead by a narrow 1.5-point margin in the predictions for what could be another classic showdown.
